There is a curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nowa
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. Dr. Underhill. the well-known
gape-grower of Croton Point, died In 387r.
Som e of h is heirs eatertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on
hand to be sold or arny more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
rnarket, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Am ong these is a wine of the vintage
of 1864,. deseribed as a "Sweet Union Port,'
but suggesting the Trov,erial Trokay more
than any other Europ..am wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a speciar interest in it as the
oldest native wine now ncessible in any con
iderable quantity. The whole stock Is In the
hands of the welli-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Trious,
Nov. , /7
The above speaks for itself, but we would
add that this Is the pure juice of the grape,
neither drugged, liguormf nor watered' that it
has been ripened and mellowed by age, and
for medicinal or sacrameistal purposes it Is
unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most
of the leading Druggists throughout the
United States, and at wholesale from the
undersigned, who will forward descriptive
pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
Respectfully, etc.,
